The only promise in life was death.
I had been born a penniless nobody in a world where magic ranked a soul. Yet I was content. I had loving parents and a bright-eyed sister, Lucy. She was everything.
Then the nobles took them.
They said Father had insulted a lord. So they killed him—and Mother. Our own relatives shut their doors, too scared to shelter me and a ten-year-old girl.
We begged. No one helped.
This town failed us.
This kingdom failed us.
This empire failed us.
All humanity failed us.
At fifteen, I died in a gutter, holding Lucy’s cold body.
But death showed mercy. It sent me back—reborn with the most forbidden power: Death-magic. One price: fight in a hidden war among the heavens, a war that was never mine.
I accepted.
Now I wield the magic that ends all things. Let gods gather, let worlds fall—none can stand against me.
I am the final verdict. I am Death made flesh.
So glad to see this being remade! I look forward to thing again and wonder what will be changed!!!
